Add Trusted Locations

A trusted location is a directory that is designated as a secure source for opening files. By default, Reflection Desktop allows users to open documents only in directories specified as trusted locations in the Reflection settings. Reflection Desktop specifies three trusted locations in the workspace Application.settings file in the program directory.

When you add other locations, these locations are saved in a custom Application.settings file in the user data directory folder. If you add trusted locations, you will need to deploy this file.

To set up a trusted location

1. Select the File menu or Reflection button (if using the Office 2007 Look and Feel), select Settings > Reflection Workspace Settings.

2. From Reflection Workspace Settings select Trust Center > Specify Trusted Locations.

3. Select Add and complete the Add Trusted Location dialog box and select OK.

   note

   You can use Windows environment variables to define the trusted location.

4. To trust all folders within the trusted location, enable the Subfolders checkbox for the added trusted location.

5. To "lock down" these settings, see Control Access to Lock Down Settings and Controls.

6. To package this file for deployment, see Package Configuration Files.

   note

   These settings are saved in the Application.settings file. You can deploy this file to one of the locations shown in Where to Deploy Customized Files.
